Bovi pose sef dey funny….lol….this guy
Genevieve looks lovely!
Why are you lying??? She looks like a granny! What’s up with the lacklustre dressing at this event though? Most of them look blah or not there.
Why are you mad though??!! She does look lovely and very trendy. You are “obviously” fashion clueless so shush it.
@Sling:
1)You’re kidding right? Otherwise, hope nobody hires you to style them.
2) Genny’s hairstyle does not accentuate her features, hiding her face & making her look older, that skirt with that jkt looks like office wear. She’s way prettier than this and another hairstyle +outfit would have been better.
You’re right. Genny’s weave color and cut especially does nothing for her. She just looks old in it.
I agree with you.
It is a brunch not an evening thing, how else do you except her to dress.
The hairstyle flatters d shape f her face, besides her complexion is way beyond ds earth, u rock gal really pulling this
Can see naija women have fully embraced the pop of colour in shoes. Let me dig out my neon coloured shoes sharp sharp. Genevieve looks tired, maybe still hung over from omotola’s bash. Funke akindele needs to change this hair style, ages her a lot.
U just gotta love Bovi…..dude is funny on arrival n appearance……nice crowd
First time seeing Lilian Esoro on redcarpet,she is definately the most beautiful actress in nollywood…she got the face,the height,her physique..her acting is super too..Clinic matter is def my best TV drama(or watever it is called)..Luv genny,my best always…Funke close up shot thou…wish everyone luck
Who is Lilian Usoro? Tahhh run along. Mansions are talking
Congratulations to all dem nominees let the best nominee win
Genevieve always manages to pull looks that seem “effortless”. There is something to be said for simplicity and classic pieces. AMAZING!
Funke looks nice, and always ma girl Genny kpn it real.
Ugonna,this is definately ur year,keep rocking.
Genny rocks

Genevieve’s hair is super chic!
Udoka? R u kiddin’ me? See my school mate o! Na wa o!

Genevieve is AGING!! slowly but surely…..
@ Blackmagicbabe – Lilian Esoro, Oooh My God…..hot damn!!!!…she takes the cake all day long…..
pls what does ugonna do for a living abeg,she seems to be every where?
Everyone looks appropriate for brunch. Nobody took any fashion risks, I see. Nobody gave us ‘fashion’.

Genevieve looks lovely. Love Lilian Esoro’s look as well but she over accessorised her look.
Genevieve looks hawt! So does Lilian Esoro – the necklace or the bracelet wasn’t necessary.
Linda, Regina, Funke need to go easy on the eyebrows; too heavy. +Linda’s outfit was not it @all.
Who’s the girl in braids & yellow jacket? Like her outfit.
Genny looks good. My girl is always on point (d shoees though). I honestly suggest Funke be christened NEVER LUK YOUNG. She neva luks young or is it just me? Ok na. OC Ukeje darling wetin happen na, d handsome face don fade abi na age? Eiyaaa! I still like U my love. Dis Lilian Esoro babe is beautiful o. Uti Nwachukwu d king of red carpet no attend? Thank gudnes o.
OH! Genevieve of life!!!
Lots of red shoes
Linda Ejiofor’s ENTIRE LOOK is absolutely STUNNING!!!!
My burriful Genny u can’t get it wrong dear, but me don’t lik ur hair style. Love u dear.
See I’m not a Nigerian but greatly admire Nigerian writers so I find myself reading loads of Nigerian blogs. When on BN, all I keep seeing are very fair shiny looking women with bridal make-ups even when going for the most casual of events so isn’t it quite ironical that MY most beautiful Nigerian isn’t fair,dresses simply and wears normal make-up? Miss Nnaji, pls don’t change!
‘makeups’?… Hard to believe you ain’t Yoruba. Thanks.
so Yoruba people say “makeups”…na wah for your tribalistic brain though….na real wah!!(I don’t even have the energy to insult you, your ignorance is overwhelming)
Genny is so gorgeous.

I saw Nkiru and thought – FREE WILLY!!! Those arms need to be covered up
Genevieve’s hair no make am sa…
Everyone pictured looked very lovely…..thisis the first article that i’v seen on BELLA where no one looked tacky….
Genny’s hair in a bit!!! Super FAB!! Peace out.
Looks fun!

Genny’s hair isnt nice at all. People are blind when it comes to Genevieve..abeg. She doesn’t look bad. I wish her effortless-chic sense of style could be a little bit more interesting. You can be effortless/simple yet interesting.
Ugonna’s skirt is lovely!!
genny’s attire isnt fit for occasion of dis nature, she looks like a primary school headmistress and the hair do too no, no, no. Linda and Lilian u girls are naturally pretty.
Linda Ejiofor is stunning. Big ups to the team that made her
So even if Gene baby doesn’t look like Miss Nigeria….at least she doesn’t look razz or is it ratchet as they say now…she managed to make an ensemble a lot of folks call boring and aging look classy…and thats what I love about her!!
Genny all d way.
Genny looks fab!!her hair??even more goegeous! Please and please why is ugonna everywhere??sweetie you are a designer..stop showing yourself everywhere..gradualling taking the torch from uti
i see nothing wrong with Genevieve’s entire ensemble. don’t know what y’all are on about her looking like a granny.. to me she pulled the look she was going for and the hair suits her just fine. Lilian Esoro is a very pretty lady. i admire her on Clinic Matters but the neck piece would have suited better if it was red. #myopinoin#
i don’t see anything wrong in genny’s outfit, incase you didn’t see the word BRUNCH she could be coming from work and that’s a beautiful office wear and for a BRUNCH
Genevieve is sort of like Jennifer Aniston, no flaws, but still sort of boring/expected. I guess she’s found what suits her fashion wise and has just stuck to it. And Ugonna looks so fierce (literarily)
Genny is ma girl anytime…
Genny is so appropriately dressed! Nothing dull or old about the outfit…the word is “APPROPRIATE”!
Ok. I still see no reason why some1 that only acts in 1 soap will b nominated for this kinda award. I had to ask around about the name Lilian esoro ‘ avent see her b4 now. How will she get higher votes over the others? I don’t think that is possible. But na 9ja we dey sha, anything can happen. #thinking#
I don’t know what you lot are talking about, I think Genny looks fantastic
Genny, naija’s wonder-wonder Woman chai!
Stunning… Look,u ‘ve got there…Lilian.pls kip it up!
